Crowds throng a beach in Seoul during the ongoing long weekend with public holidays on April 30 (Buddha's birthday) and May 5 (Children's Day). South Korea appears to have turned a corner in its aggressive fight against the coronavirus but an air of caution remains among the public. "I feel cautious since we are still supposed to be social-distancing. So it is not easy to truly relax and enjoy the holiday," says one man while trying to destress at the beach Saturday.
